If it's college he's anxious to get on to, look into programs through the high school that allow him to take college classes at the local JC which simultaneously give him HS credit. My high school had a lot of students doing that. It beats the pants off stopping HS altogether and it DOES get him a few credits ahead in college.

Most importantly, encourage him to take something that will inspire him. I mean, great if he takes English 101 or something, but perhaps encourage him to also sign up for a night course in drama or car repair or whatever floats his boat. Something to make going to school positive, because public high schools will take it out of even the best kids.
